(Main) contests->b/w challenge
I was really impressed with a post by sonyatod on The Living Saint of Bulgaria. You can see it here. She sent me some more photos and the face in the tree belongs to him. With Easter getting close, I thought the Thorn Tree was a perfect choice to do this manipulation. The tree is a Missouri Honey Locust. It is on Number 6 Tee at our golf course. I want to thanks Sonya for letting me use her photo. I sent the photos to our local newspaper and the information she had on her post. They plan to post the photos in an article sometime soon. I hope you enjoy this. I plan on entering it in the b/w challenge.

Sometimes the appropriate response to reality is to go insane. -- Philip K. Dick, Valis
Amazing and talented manip TicK. I hope you'll provide a link to the published article in one of your future posts. Trees on courses where I play, as one approaches the back nine, come in handy for other purposes. Happy "Masters" weekend and best of luck in the B/W Challenge!

The thing that goes the farthest, towards making life worthwhile, it costs the least and does the most, is just a pleasant smile.
There is a bit more here than what meets the eye Ron, I feel that you had something in your third eye through the process when you put this all together ,great b/w challenge too!I think a good follow up would be the newspaper article if you could post that, at least I would be very interested in reading it.!!!

A wonderful manipulation Tick. One has to lean back and look at it to see the face. A very good entry for the b/w challenge.

Outstanding manip OFT (Owd Fella Tick). Good entry for the challenge.
In my childhood I've seen many illustrations in fairy tale books where the trees had a human face. But as child I was disappointed that I could see none of them in real, but by your creation my dreams finally have come true.

Try to change what you can't accept, but accept what you can't change. Please CLICK HERE to see my journal! Feel free to save my images or to add them to your favorites.
You did this so well, it actually looks like the face is part of the tree. Amazing work, Tick. Just amazing!

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
This is way too cool, Tick .
Excellent work and a great challenge entry .
Glad you contacted your local newspaper about Sonya's beautiful country and customs .

Everyone has a photographic memory. Some just don't have any film.
I too would love to read the newspaper article when it comes out - perhaps you could provide a link? The work is outstanding in all respects - I bow to your talent.

Friends, I translated and read all your comments about the publication of Ron! All comments I liked many, excited, and some of them (like that of E.J.) made me I laugh - it fascinates me every time and laugh with his comparisons and comments.
Ron, this is great news that your newspaper will publish material for Grandpa Dobri. I am looking forward with great wait specimen of the newspaper. Thank you so much, Ron!
